Awesome, Aysha…and welcome to the website! We’ll keep adding bowings to newer lessons published, and at some point, we’ll add bowings for all of the older lessons.

Cool on the camp. Camps and picking festivals are definitely on my calendar going forward. Maybe our paths will cross!

Same answer as for Salt Creek, Michael. I know it and love it. On the list at some point.

Great call, Michael.

I know this tune, and will teach it for you when I have time. I’m not planning to make it into the studio anytime soon, but consider it on my list. Maybe Megan knows it and can teach it sooner than I.

Hi, Allison.

We almost had Hanneke in the studio a couple of months ago, but it didn’t work out…she and I have been talking and hope to get her back in the studio later this year or early next for another session. Agreed on the mix of tunes…I think Hanneke has actually had like 4-6 sessions with us over the past few years, and I know she…[Read more]

Hi, Felicity.

I’ll add it to Hanneke’s request list – she may choose to record it. We’ve been trying to get her back to the studio, and I’m hopeful that it might happen later this year or early next.

Thx!

Hi, Kah.

I’ll add it to Patti’s running request list, and she may choose to teach it during her next session. I’ve been trying to get her back to the studio for over a year, but this pandemic has really put a hitch in travel!

Update – Megan’s first session for the project will be end of July/beginning of Aug this year. Excited to get her onboard!

Here’s a recent article on Megan from Strings Magazine: https://stringsmagazine.com/keep-connected-with-fiddler-and-educator-megan-lynch-chowning/

Cheers!

Hi, Thistle. Good stuff. You won’t regret learning to play by ear. You’ll always have the ability to read sheet music, and that’s an entirely separate, valuable skill. But you’ll be amazed at what happens when you start listening and creating music with people around you who are doing the same thing. Don’t be afraid to listen to what your…[Read more]

Bumping this thread up to see if anyone has any more requests for the latest instructor to be added to the Fiddlevideo website. I spoke with Megan a couple of days ago, and we’re sorting out times/schedules. Looks like she may visit the Fiddlevideo studios in late July of this year…

Very cool on both counts, Rob. I’ve never heard of a clog fiddle before, but there’s a ton I don’t know about the fiddling that goes on in that neck of the woods. Have you checked out the Vasen Nyckelharpa player? Awesome stuff.

Very cool…so many tunes and so little time!!

I’m also considering trying out the foot tapping thing as well as working through Niall’s chopping series…those are two things I’ve never tried and think would be cool to add to my bag of tricks…

Thanks for the input, guys. I’ll do some research on Discord to see if I think that would be a good solution/enhancement…stay tuned. Feel free to chime in with other thoughts, folks…

Hey, Lisa. Couldn’t agree more – the forum could use a refresh. I’ll have to learn something about those options.

Other folks who use this site – does anybody advocate one of the options Lisa listed over the others? I’ve never used any of them…

I’ll do some thinking. And other folks feel free to chime in.

Hi, MC1200.

I appreciate your feedback. Our production team has lowered the volume in some of the more recently produced videos, but the outro bumper audio for older lessons definitely is a bit hot. At some point, we’ll remaster the older lessons to get the audio (and video quality) in line with the newer lessons produced.

Thanks for your…[Read more]

Cool. Welcome, Cameron! I look forward to tuning in as well…cheers!

Added to Kevin’s running request list for his next session…thx!

Thanks for the suggestion, Bowvalley…consider this added to our running request list. One of our instructors may choose to teach the tune in the future.

Cheers!!
